Oh, this is nice. I'm looking for something like that since GetPrismatic closedown. Just created my account and can see that content is pretty relevant. Looking forward for Android reading app.

"Mybridge AI personalizes the web for your profesisonal skills" – OK, after all, it's about reading, not writing ;)
@jiwonbest Ah makes sense. Is there a monetization strategy in mind with partnering with these publishers?
@jiwonbest tech standpoint how do you know when new articles are published? RSS?
@litechip Good question Alexandru. We have a system in place that notifies when new articles are published on the web. Of course this would be very costly if we were to monitor every single site. For our machine to be notified, a post needs to exceed our quality threshold. This way, we ensure we don't get spams or poorly written articles and at the same time we can reduce the fixed cost.
Sign up with Google seems broken.
400. That’s an error.
Error: redirect_uri_mismatch

@tostartafire @mybridge Thanks for the feedback. We've just noticed this as well. It's caused by API mismatch with Google, I'm guessing a small typo error somewhere. For those who see this message, please go back to the landing page and try sign-up from there: This should work for now.
Why only 5 skills? My range of interests is larger and it's hard to pick just 5.
@triptych Hi Andrew. This is actually question we receive most often. I wrote a reply to @claudiomartins just above. Thanks!
I'm loving the product so far, but I'm curious, why limit to 5 skills? There are others things I'd like to follow as well.
@claudiomartins Thanks Claudio and welcome onboard! A little story about 5 skills limit: In the beginning we used LinkedIn to match dozens of your skills and we recommended articles based on that. We quickly realized that this made Top 10 less relevant as there were articles coming from too many interests. Second (honest) reason is we may seek an opportunity in subscription based model where we charge a small fee per month for providing extra 5 skills. We plan to speak with more users like yourself and figure this out soon!
@jiwonbest thanks for the answer! I'm an avid reader, trying to source interesting and hidden content that I can learn more about several subjects. I'm a Zite orphan and really dislike how Flipboard source its content and present it, nothing really makes a lot of sense there. Zite was perfect. I'm playing around with Mybridge and I'd be definitely a paying subscriber to unlock these features. I'm also available for beta testing.
@claudiomartins Sounds great! Hopefully Mybridge will be the next Zite for you. But since one is alive, it'll keep getting better. And your voice and feedback will help us get there.
@vazgenb @claudiomartins Good feedback Vazgen. We think a lot about merging & separating skills. I think it's best we speak to more users about this.
@jiwonbest This is cool. I was wondering if it will be possible (maybe in the future) to pick a topic that is not on the list. For example, I would love to read all the stories about GIFs (since my company is the future of GIFs ;-) ), would it be possible?
@rotemthegolfer Rotem, thanks for bringing this up. We've been actually approached by a few companies with the same request. This can be done and we may do this in the future for business customers. It would take 2-3 days to set up our technology. We may even be able to break it down to, say, GIF news, GIF for developers, building a GIF startup, etc.
@rotemthegolfer Not at this point, Rotem. Once more popular skills are all active, then we can consider this. Let's keep talking.
@jonathan_riftin It's under development. We'll let you know the soonest when it's ready.
Hands down, this just become my favourite reading app after a few minutes of use. I love how you gathered the content from some of the really unexpected sources 😄
The only thing I'd personally work on is the design of the app. In all honesty, it could look more polished. I'd be delighted to leave you guys an actual useful feedback though, if you're after such thing 😊
@iammarkoradak Hi Marko, thanks for the very kind words. I'd love to get your feedback on design!
Cool! Just updated to 2.0. Looking forward for more! I don't know but have you changed the font for the new update ?
Somehow the header and the body doesn't fit in design wise.The date time is taking so much space of the app. My personal opinions of course.
Keep up the great work! 😄
@theelooper Welcome onboard Tarek! I'll make a good use of your design feedbacks. Also it's becoming clear that more users prefer the previous font. We'll be making the update soon.
After I'm able to select as many skills as I'd like (even if I have to pay for it) I'll use it, otherwise I get a feeling of missing out on some articles.
@jiwonbest you have to move this code http://pastebin.com/eATvMtzr outside http://pastebin.com/LSQ9F9TY ;)
Hi hunters,
We’re thrilled to introduce Mybridge 2.0!
It's a free app that will make your professional life simpler and more productive. Simply pick your skills and let Mybridge do all the work for you, searching and finding today's top articles.
Mybridge AI got smarter than 1.0. It is now covering most of the web in tech and ranks articles with much higher precision for professionals, especially for programmers and designers.
Another thing that's cool is Learning Collection. Mybridge now puts together top articles into related collections and this will come in handy when you're learning and improving your work.
I hope you read more and achieve more with Mybridge!
I have the opposite question as others, why do you force me to select five skills? If I'm only interested in three then I shouldn't have to clog my feed with more.
@folocity This is a good question. For users who chose 1-3 skills, we saw a much smaller engagement than users who chose 5 skills. After speaking with users with 1-3 skills, we found that articles got updated less frequently and the quality of Top 10 was not as good because there was less competition for articles to get into the list. Hope this explains!
Really love this, I can get the newest and (only) best articles at the same time now! I will definitely pay a subscribe when available.
